On this project...of the many projects I have began this past year and never finished this one was probably the worst. Meaning that I put so much work into by the time I figured out it would not work, for what I had in mind because I never measured!! First My neighbor gave me this computer armoire she was getting rid of..my friends and neighbors know I'm a gluten for unwanteds.......(I should do a post on all the unwanted furniture I have gotten my li'l hands on)
I had big hopes for it....I took off all the hinges and pulls...I painted it Linen White (Rachel Ashwell's signature color)
I bought some new glass knobs, some cute ball feet, to give it some height..some vintage wall paper scraps...because I was going to do this to the inset of the armoire doors...wouldn't that of looked beautiful? Just a patchwork of beautiful vintage wallpapers...I had such big dreams.....for this project. BUT!!!!! I didn't measure the depth of it, my daughters T.V. would be too deep to fit into it.......so it never came to be....BUT....she gets an Afor her project...well done....So my brain won't let this project go I could redo my craft closet like this...hmmmmmmmm....I see another project brewing for 2009. What are you guys up to this year? Any ideas you think I should take a look at? ya know I don't have enough around here to do!!!!!!ha!!
Well...I put it on the side of the road...out by the trash...I had to get rid of some stuff so I could have a place to work on my last project. If I had room for it I would of kept it...it really didn't serve my purpose. Yes..I love glass knobs or ceramic. They are so sparkly or shiny. I forgot I was bidding on some petite vintage glass knobs this week and realized it and the bid ended..boo hoo.
I'm on the lookout for lamps now.

I love the glass knobs! I really want to start changing these out in my home. I'm such an organizing nut lately, I would put all your pretty crafties inside. You have so many nice things and in books and organized! I really want to do this......but for now I have a game closet that needs my assistance....or maybe it's a towel closet.....good lord it's an everything closet that really is a game closet. Post pics when you're finished :) Can't wait to see it!

Ellie- what a bummer. What are you going to do with it now? I am sure you can find somewhere to put it, it's so cute! Just a lesson for next time. What do they say? Measure twice, do it once.
